Details
RRBs announced the schedule on 10 September 2026. The link to see your exam city and date (and the travel authority for SC and ST candidates) went live on 27 September, with a further link for Technician Grade I candidates on 2 October. On 4 October the board issued a notice about a change of one exam centre at Sikar in Rajasthan, so check your slip again if you are in that region.
E-call letters are tentatively released about four days before the exam date shown on your slip. Aadhaar-linked biometric authentication is done at the centre, so carry the original Aadhaar card or a printout of the e-verified Aadhaar, and keep your Aadhaar unlocked in the UIDAI system. The Aadhaar details should match your Class 10 certificate. A mock test link was also published.
Always confirm the final details on the official RRB website.
